THE ALUMNI 


ESTMINSTER COLLEGE has had a long and worthy ministry; organized 
in 1852, she has since graduated more than seventeen hundred young 
people, who have rendered efficient service to the world, and have thus brought 
success to themselves and honor to their Alma Mater. They have adorned the 
learned professions and achieved a large measure of success in the industrial 
pursuits. Many have done notable service. The College feels a just pride in 
their achievements and relies confidently upon their loyalty. An active Alumni 
and enthusiastic student body are the chief assets of any college. Progress and 
growth are conditioned upon Alumni support and student effort. The College 
deserves both. The Alumni Association is as follows: 
President, W. T. PIERCE, ’95, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Vice-President, CHAS. B. ROBERTSON, ’93, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Corresponding Sec’y, DR. ELIZABETH McLAUGHRY, ’87, New Castle, Pa. 
Recording Secretary, MRS. CHAS. E. CRONENWETT, ’95, Butler, Pa. 


Treasurer, HOWELL T. GETTY, ’03, New Wilmington, Pa.

State best by emphasizing religion in life. InStruétion in the English Bible 
constitutes an integral part of all courses leading to degrees. Voluntary Bible study 
groups and Christian organizations are maintained by the Students. Symmetrical 
culture for social efficiency is the aim. The College understands the homes from 
which its students come, and undertakes to maintain similar ideals in its life and 
teaching. Men’s and Ladies’ Bible Classes, Christian Associations, Volunteer Bands, 
Mission Study Groups and Prayer Leagues are maintained in a flourishing condition, 
and constitute a potent influence in the life of the in&titution. There are several 
Strong church organizations in New Wilmington with which Students and faculty

DEPARTMENTS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING AND ART 


PECIALISTS in these departments are meeting admirably the growing demands 
for training in Public Speaking and in Art. The College fosters the broadest 
culture and makes generous provision for in&truction in the accomplishments repre- 
sented by these branches of art. Public exhibits of pupils’ work in art, and public 
programs in Oratory, Dramatic Expression, and inter-collegiate and inter-class de- 
bate, prove the efficiency of this work. The debating teams have been almost uni- 
formly successful, and the College leads by a wide margin in viétories in the Inter- 


collegiate Oratorical Association. 


These departments are doing much toward the training of teachers for public 


school and special positions.

COLLEGE RANK 


ESTMINSTER COLLEGE maintains high standards, meeting the requirements 

formulated by the Carnegie Foundation. For admission to any course, fifteen 
units; for graduation, one hundred twenty semester hours. Students may transfer 
their credits to the large universities and enter similar grade without conditions; also, 
secure graduate standing upon certificate of graduation. The personnel and train- 
ing of the teaching force, the science and library equipment, and the records of her 
graduate students have secured and maintain this worthy rank for We&stminiter. 
Several Westminster men have won Rhodes Scholarships, and her graduates have 
ranked high in the large professional schools and in the Graduate Departments of 
the great universities.

THE FACULTY 


HE teaching force of the in&titution largely determines its efficiency. Scholarship, 
ability to impart and to inspire, charaéter and personal influence toward forma- 
tion of high ideals—these are the qualifications required in the successful college 
professor. In the faculty of Westminster College are represented the training of the 
best colleges and universities and the efficiency in scholarship and life resulting from 
long experience in teaching and a thorough understanding of student ideals and 
economic demands. The faculty is large enough to do the work of teaching without 
a sense of heavy burden. They, too, are expeéted to grow. Classes are divided to 
get the best results. The student’s interests are paramount. He goes through college 
but once. He ought to get the best.
